cDear sir: I have )Tour favor . of August 1, 1912, relating to the . applications to lease school lands lying within national forests "I beg to advice you that it is 41 the opinion of this department that when such applications are regularly made by persons cap- able of entering into a lease there is . no reason why your de ;partment should not give them permits provided by law to occupy said lands for purposes jfor, which the said lands are ad- apted. In this connection it may' , .he well to advise you that when 'such' permits are graated that those who receive them have superior rights with reference to the land covered by them and are fully .authorized to assei t v their possession in which in my opinion, the laws of this state i afford them ample protection.

WHERE WOMAN PROPOSES. An Odd Welsh Town Where the Sexes Have Changed Places. Llangwm, in Pembrokeshire, Wales, is a huddled group of blunt -stone cottages upon the luxuriant bank of thejiver Cleddau and with in view of the Atlantic. Were it not for its strange customs and the relations of the sexes Llangwm would not merit special attention. The inhabitants are of Flemish or igin. In this community mere, man no longer holds sway as head of the household, nor is he compelled to earn his own living. This is what occurs to him in Llangwm: If a likely youth and if arrived at the age not necessarily of, discretion and size that enable him to make himself useful about the house in cooking, washing, cleaning, bedmaking and such oth er duties as usually are discharged by the weaker sex, he is approached by some maiden who has "laid eyes bn him;" a few words are spoken, perhaps kisses interchanged, and the bargain is completed. Sucji em barrassing duties as "asking ma and pa" and those incide...

NAPOLEON'S LETTER. How the Initial "M" Punctuated tho Great Conqueror's Career. Prom Marengo to Moscow ?as the long swing of the pendulum of Napoleon's life, the one the great est battle out of which he came with his life, the other the abyss which engulfed him. Mr. J. .M. j Buckley, a literary expert on coinci dences, pointed out how strangely the letter "M" played a part in the life of the great conqueror. Marboe was the first to recognize the genius of Napoleon at the Ecole Militaire. Melas opened to him the way to Italy. Mortier was one of his first generals. Moreau betrayed him, and Murat was the first martyr to his cause. Marie Louise partook of his highest destinies. Metter nich conquered him on the field of diplomacy. Six marshals Massena, Mortier, Marmont, Macdonald, Murat and , Money and twenty-six of his gen erals of divisions had names begin ning with the letter "M." Murat, duke of Bassano, was the jcounselof in whom he placed the greatest confidence. His first great bat...
